IL-2 Sturmovik series

Has anyone been able to run any of these on Windows 8? My pc's not the problem, I'm sure, since it runs all my other flight sims really well (and I have most of them). I can't even get it to run the original and I've tried all the compatibility settings I can, both in set-up and play.

My old XP rig runs all IL-2 well, except I have to turn the clouds off altogether in 1946 to get decent fps.

I've got this on my PS3. Try uninstalling and reinstalling, that does the trick for most of my PC games. Do you have any modifications that you have installed for it?

I don't think Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 was ever released for consoles. You probably have the far less realistic Il-2 Birds of Prey version.:hmm2:

It's that one. Are you guys thinking of a different one? :D Oops. All Einhörnchen states in the thread title is "IL-2 Sturmovik series

There is IL2 Sturmovik 1946 which is the latest version of the original PC IL2 series.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IL-2_Sturmovik:_1946

Aha. I see my mistake. Sorry :yep:

Trying now. I was running 4.07 on win10 OK but trying to update to 4.12.2 has broken it. Fresh install is warranted now.

Actually, the latest IL-2 game is IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Moscow, set for a Q1 2016 release.

Did you install 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, and 4.11 before trying to update to 4.12?

No. I wasn't aware of them backtracking from HSFX. I'll be digging for the updates now.

I said "There is IL2 Sturmovik 1946 which is the latest version of the original PC IL2 series". I meant those based on the original engine. Otherwise I would have had to mention Il2 Cliffs of Dover too. ;)

I'm downloading all the patches from Mission 4 Today now. Thay have one that goes straight from 4.07 to 4.12.2.

I'll look at the other site too, thanks.

[Buddahaid]

OK I'm back up and running 4.12.2. It took a bit to find where to map the throttle control but that's sorted and it's all good. Thanks for the help and now it's time to move on with my day.

Glad I could be of assistance :salute:

Ah, I see, sorry for the misunderstanding :)

Speaking of Cliffs of Dover, a new bomber event was recently announced on ATAG. I'd recommend everyone have a look, they're great fun :salute:

Here's some footage I took from an earlier bomber event, called Italy Attacks: https://youtu.be/A1N02ghgJOo

Since I posted that rubbish I got a proper gaming PC with good processor and graphics; I insisted on having Win8 taken off and XP installed and it now runs just about anything. It even runs 'BoB II' so I'm happier still... I could never get that bugger to run on any computer before now.
